OK. This is long-winded, because I have to keep swapping my working
dovecot.conf and main.cf files with my new versions, then restarting both
services :-) I can't get mail out with the experimental ones. Presumably
once I have this sorted all will be well.

I've made the changes you recommended, but now I can't get even as far as I
did with the telnet confirmation of authorisation protocols.

telnet borg2.lydgate.lan 25
Trying 192.168.0.40...
Connected to borg2.lydgate.lan (192.168.0.40).
